Cutaneous mastocytosis extending beyond a radiotherapy site: a form of radiodermatitis or a neoplastic phenomenon?
[cutaneous mastocytosis]
Ionising
radiation
is
often
used
as
an
adjuvant
in
the
management
of
breast
cancer
.
Acute
and
chronic
skin
changes
are
well
recognised
complications
associated
with
its
use
.
We
demonstrate
a
rare
clinical
presentation
of
cutaneous
mastocytosis
that
occurred
at
the
site
of
radiotherapy
and
then
extended
beyond
this
boundary
,
and
ask
whether
this
can
be
treated
as
a
localised
side
effect
of
radiotherapy
or
whether
the
potential
for
systemic
mastocytosis
needs
to
be
excluded
.
